Chris Simcox, the co-founder of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, the militant anti-illegal immigration group, has dropped his own primary challenge to Sen. John McCain for Senate to endorse former Congressman J.D. Hayworth, according to Hayworth spokesman Jason Rose.

Simcox hadn't found much traction in the poll attacking McCain for his support for a package of measures known as Comprehensive Immigration Reform, deeply unpopular among many Republican primary voters, who consider it "amnesty." His endorsement gives will offer Hayworth — who had already attacked McCain from the right on immigration — even more visibility in that segment of the GOP base.

UPDATE: Simcox's comments at the announcement, per Rose:

Last April I made the decision to challenge John McCain because his votes for bailouts and open borders confirmed what so many of us knew to be true. He had been in office for too long, and he was not interested in defending conservative principles.

A lot has changed since then. The bad news is that the Obama Administration has taken us very far in the wrong direction. The good news is that the people of this country have woken up!

And the time is ripe for a new Republican Revolution!

From New York to New Jersey, Virginia to Massachusetts, and Florida to
Texas, conservative Republicans and their brothers and sisters in the Tea
Parties have united to say ³No More!² to the liberals who run our nation.

And now we have an incredible opportunity here in Arizona to win perhaps the
most important race in the entire country. The New York Times calls him a
moderate, and they love his politics. Well do you know what Arizonans call a
New York moderate? A liberal!

When J.D. got into this race I thought long and hard about the decision I
had to make, and it became obvious to me that the right thing to do was to
remember the mission: Elect a consistent conservative to the United State
Senate.

My friends, that is exactly what we are here to do!

So it is with great pleasure that I stand with J.D. Hayworth and endorse his
campaign!

I pledge to him, and to all of you, that I will do my all and give my all to
this cause. And I urge my supporters to follow me and join J.D.¹s team.
The name on the ballot matters far less than what that person stands for.

Politico is a bunch of hardcore leftists trying to pass themselves off as nonpolitical journalists. It's a shell game. Look at their word choices and you can see they always use more favorable words when describing left wing agendas and personalities.

America...and for what it is worth...I also endorse JD Hayworth to defeat the epitome of moderate "fence sitters"....Johnnie McCain. Go home...Johnnie...your daughter needs direction! And, America, do not forget Texas...we need a real change there, also! ‘REMEMBER THE ALAMO’ - TOMORROW (2/16) EARLY VOTING STARTS IN TEXAS! A MONEY BOMB IS TAKING PLACE TODAY (2/15) FOR DEBRA MEDINA THE ONLY ‘TRUE’ CONSERVATIVE IN THE RACE! GO TO HER SITE AND GIVE WHAT YOU CAN TODAY! WE SENT A MESSAGE TO THE DEMOCRATZI IN MASSACHUSETTS - NOW LET US SEND ONE TO THE REPUBLICANS IN TEXAS!!

Hayworth is a true conservative by today's standards -- a chickenhawk who refused to serve. I am not a McCain fan but he put his life on line. Hayworth has only been responsible for his big mouth while McCain was in the real world.

I used to respect McCain but he has become so wishy washy, he needs to go. I'll never forget, during the campaign he was asked about the economy and he said everything was great, then in a couple of days the economy collapsed.

I live in AZ and JD Hayworth is worthless. He was dumped as a Congressman so why doe he think he will make it as a Senator. He needs to go get a real job where you have to work for a change - he is pure junk!.

Hayworth said on cnn McCain voted NO NO on wealthy tax cuts, Tax cuts that gave out Trillions of tax cuts for 10 years..That tells all Hayworth will give more wealthy tax cuts if elected and what got America in trillions in deficit not paid for..Hayworth will work for greed. all is greed. Rather vote for McCain then Hayworth.

Palin who supports and palls around with Tom T. who wants iliteracy test back, something not even Palin would pass. Beware of republicans calling who is real and not real Americans..All will be next just a matter of time if they get all power..scary.

Arizona "conservative" GOP'ers are nuts.
I am a VN Vet who volunteered for in country service.
I cast my first Republican vote for Barry Goldwater and every Repulican candidate since. So I dont need to be "vetted" by any conservative test.
JD couldn't hold on to his own seat so now he wants to weaken the party by running against McCain. .
JD's election would be a NET LOSS to the party.

What's a person to think...so many Republicans are RINOs. Although JD is not a RINO...he has past that is questionable. It's too hard to figure out...that's why I listen to Rush. He breaks it down...and I can count on him to steer me in the right direction.

McRino hosed the whole country by refusing to make Rev Wright an issue during the election, and now "the chickens have come home to roost" and Omarxist has mastered the art of bowing and spending but no jobs are in sight.
Get RID of McCain -- yes, we owe him gratitude for Vietnam, but we need a conservative not a RINO.

If illegal immigration is not stopped soon, America will be a Hispanic country. And then it will NEVER be stopped. Until one day, the Hispanics wake up and realize that all the NEW illegals are Chinese and Muslims. THEN they will stop it. And, funny thing, nobody will call THEM racists.

To Eileen, Sorry I will NOT vote for Debra. She is part of the looney toons that believe 9-11 was planned and carried out by the government of the USA. I don't care for Kay and I don't care for Perry. There has got to be someone out there that has the brass and integrity to champion conservative families and destroy the liberal nut jobs who LOVE the abombinations before the Lord.

Since when is desiring the US Government to do its Constitutionally mandated job in Article IV, Section 4 ("The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence." ) considered militant? Ben Smith is clearly a partisan hack, which is okay, so long as he admits to being a partisan (hack) -- and not pretend to be objective (aka a journalist).

In 2000, the straight talk express had my vote, after caving in over the next eight years and buying the TARP LIE, the Maverick lost me...My Friends!!!! If J.D. doesn't perform, don't re-elect him. This is the simple solution for everyone that is an incumbent- in both parties.

It is puzzling to me that when someone opposes illegal immigration, they are somehow militant and racist. We are a country of mostly immigrants, but the vast majority of these are legal immigrants. There IS a difference. I welcome anyone that wants to come to the US legally, and become a useful productive member of society. I do not welcome illegal immigrants who break the law to get here. I especially don't want to reward these scofflaws with a path to citizenship. Each and every one of them should be deported and begin the process legally to enter the country as many thousands of people do every year. If Americans go down to the border and watch for lawbreakers crossing the border, many of which are drug dealers, or other criminal types, and report them to the authorities, how are they doing anything wrong? The main reason they are doing it is because the US Government is not doing its job of protecting our borders, that includes democrat and republican politicians.

Dear Ken at 09:21 PM...that is too bad that you 'believe' the propaganda against her. It is being thrown at her because she is a threat to the Republican machine in Texas...and not voting for any of them is a vote against freedom from the moderate 'fence sitters' of the party. A vote for Senator Hutchinson is a vote for the same ol’ same ol’ politics as usual. She is a moderate ‘fence sitter’ of the Republican party that voted all too often against ‘we’ the people. Governor Perry is soliciting for the NAFTA ‘super highway’ that will run the entire length of your state from Mexico to Canada. In going along with this madness he is also approving control of that super highway to a foreign company! How many Texans will lose their land and/or property in this takeover through ‘eminent domain’ to build this highway through our nation? Do we really need a ‘super highway’ to divide our great Republic right through the middle going from one country to another country, and right through our own country? Texas, you need to break the chains that hold you, status quo! Debra Medina is the only ‘sane’ voice for Texas and American to preserve ‘states rights’ according to our Constitution. What do you have to lose, except your independence.
Over 174 years ago (Feb 23 - Mar 6 a few Texans stood their ground to fight for independence over the Mexican military at the Alamo. For days they held out because they believed in independence from a foreign country. A line in the sand was drawn that day, those men knew they would lose their lives but they were willing to make the sacrifice for the good of all Texans and the good of our Republic why will not you do the same today? A vote for Debra Medina is a vote for change, a vote for independence, a vote against the status quo. A new beginning. If she does not fulfill her promises to you, in four (4) years you have the opportunity to boot her out, but please, Texas give her a chance to make a difference! Send out the 2nd clarion call that the Republicans are not in charge in Texas, ‘we’ the American people are in charge and we are on the move to take back out government to make it right in America, once again! “REMEMBER THE ALAMO“……TOMORROW (2/16) STARTS EARLY VOTING IN TEXAS TO PUT A CONSERVATIVE INTO THE GOVERNORSHIP OF TEXAS! MONEY BOMB TAKING PLACE TODAY (2/15) FOR DEBRA MEDINA THE ONLY ‘TRUE’ CONSERVATIVE IN THE RACE. PLEASE GIVE WHAT YOU CAN.
WE SENT A MESSAGE TO THE DEMOCRATZI IN MASSACHUSETTS - LET US SEND ONE TO THE REPUBLICANS IN TEXAS!

Simcox was never in the business to win, but just to collect campaign donations to make his mortage. He hasn't worked an honest day in his life... perfect for politics or heading a non-profit scam org like the MCDC. I hope he doesnt damage JD Hayworths campaign too much.

How do you spell phoney?

This RINO has to go now. I thank God that America is done sleeping. These Socialists and outright Communists have got to be vanquished from all power at every level of government. Our founding fathers would have wanted it so.

MM, you're in the wrong party. Calling those individuals corrupt and racist only shows you for what you are: A RINO! Your KIND are about to become an endangered species. I have much more compassion for actual rhinos and their unfortunate, no-fault-of-their-own plight than I do for those willfully and maliciously trying to turn the RNC into the DEM-L (Democrat Lite).

Obma-McCain... which one is who? In our last election it didn't really matter which one was put into the office. They both think alike. Both are pro-alien, wanting to give citizenship to the illegal aliens who have came into our country.
Why would it be illegal for our citizens to defend our border? Why can't we set up a citizens border patrol and shoot every one sneaking across our border. Surely it isn't murder defending your own border. If so, what are we doing with a military force all over the world?

I don't live in Arizona, but. I will evaluate the other candidates who are running against McCain and which ever one of them has the most chance to win, I will send them as much money as I possibly can. To all of you who support McCain, think he is a fence sitter, a RINO, or even a hero, lol, whatever, I need to tell you now, McCain is no less of a communist piece of dung than any of the most leftist Dems. Look at this:

McCain is done, history. When I get done spreading this story across the internet with the help of thousands of my tea party, Libertarian, and conservative friends, and we all donate as much money to whoever runs against the traitor McCain as possible, he is finished, I will guarantee you that much, stick a fork in him, he is done, piece of crap traitor to America.
